It is a hurricane now, and I find I am proud it has attained this new title! It is as though it had gotten married, or finished another degree. I am in the outer bands.
The circular wind is getting stronger. I am not interested in a disaster or in investing as much thought as has been invested in a mere tropical storm. I hope it stays as it is, a jaunty little hurricane.

Someone is calling it “Thunderstorm Isaac.”
Hopefully everybody will be home safe when the hurricane is over. Best wishes.
Cute little fellow!
